SORA & OSO Compliance Support
SORA Development & Operational Authorisation Support
Skyworthy provides comprehensive support for operators navigating the UK SORA framework and preparing for Operational Authorisation. We translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, structured steps that align with your operation, mission profile, and risk category.
This service includes detailed interpretation of UK UAS regulations, incorporating GRC and ARC assessments to support a defensible SAIL determination. We map each requirement to your CONOPS and operational context, assessing OSO applicability, integrity expectations, and the evidence pathways defined in CAP722 and CAP3017 to ensure your SORA is both robust and regulator‑aligned.
Our focus is on helping you build a strong, coherent submission — from understanding SAIL implications to shaping a SORA that demonstrates credible mitigations, operational robustness, and compliance with the UK regulatory framework. The outcome is a clear, confident pathway toward achieving your Operational Authorisation.
OSO Evidence & Gap Analysis
Skyworthy provides a detailed assessment of your operational, organisational, and maintenance systems to determine how effectively they meet the Operational Safety Objectives (OSOs) associated with your SAIL determination. We evaluate the integrity and assurance levels required for each applicable OSO and identify where your existing evidence, processes, or controls fall short of regulator expectations.
Our review examines your documentation, procedures, safety practices, and operational workflows to understand how well they support the required integrity levels. Each gap is clearly defined, with practical, actionable recommendations on what needs to be strengthened, developed, or re‑structured to achieve compliance.
We ensure you have a clear, traceable pathway to meeting OSO requirements, supported by evidence that is credible, defensible, and aligned with the expectations set out in CAP722 and CAP3017. The result is a structured understanding of your compliance position and a roadmap for closing gaps efficiently and confidently.
Compliance System Design & Documentation
Skyworthy develops the operational, maintenance, and organisational systems you need to meet the integrity and assurance expectations defined by your SAIL determination. We design clear, structured processes and documentation that demonstrate control, repeatability, and traceability — the qualities regulators look for when assessing compliance.
Our support includes shaping the procedures, responsibilities, and evidence frameworks that underpin safe and reliable UAS operations. Each system element is aligned with the requirements and evidence pathways set out in CAP722 and CAP3017, ensuring your documentation is coherent, practical, and ready for regulatory review.
The result is a streamlined, evidence‑ready compliance framework that supports consistent operations and provides a solid foundation for meeting OSO integrity requirements and progressing your SORA and Operational Authorisation.
